Released in the United States through Columbia Records, 19 resonated with American audiences, much as it had with British music fans. Led by two popular lead singles, ' Adele: Hometown Glory (2009)' and ' Adele: Chasing Pavements (2008)' the record rocketed Adele to fame. '19' (2008)Īdele's debut album, 19, which is named for the singer's age when she began recording the project, went on sale in early 2008. Adele has recorded a total of three studio albums since the beginning of her career in 2008: 19, 21 and 25. When executives at XL Recordings heard the tracks, they contacted the singer and, in November 2006, just four months after Adele had graduated school, signed her to a record deal. Instead, her mother enrolled her in the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology, which counts Amy Winehouse as an alum.While at school, Adele cut a three-track demo for a class project that was eventually posted on her MySpace page.

I was so inspired that as a 15-year-old I was listening to music that had been made in the '40s.'While clearly bright, Adele wasn't oriented towards traditional classroom settings. I was like, oh, right, some people have proper longevity and are legends. So when I listened to the Etta James and the Ella Fitzgerald, it sounds so cheesy, but it was like an awakening. 'There was no musical heritage in our family,' Adele told The Telegraph in a 2008 interview. But her true, eye-opening moment came when she was 15 and she happened upon a collection of Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald records at a local shop. She gravitated toward the songs of Lauryn Hill, Mary J. In 2017 she won five Grammys for her work on 25, including album, record and song of the year.Early on, Adele developed a passion for music. After becoming a mom in 2012, Adele returned to the charts with the ballad 'Hello' in 2015, the lead single from what was dubbed her comeback album 25. Adele's first two albums, 19 and 21, earned her critical praise and a level of commercial success unsurpassed among her peers.

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born May 5, 1988) is a British singer-songwriter who has sold millions of albums worldwide and won a total of 15 Grammys as well as an Oscar.
